FAQ

What is the Ideal Weight for 174 cm Female in kg?

For 174 cm Female Ideal Weight: 65.1 kg Healthy Weight Range: 56 kg - 75.6 kg

What is the normal/healthy weight range for 174 cm female?

The normal/healthy weight range for 174 cm female is 56 kg - 75.6 kg.

How is the ideal weight of 65.1 kg for 174 cm calculated?

By the Devine formula (1974): it starts from 45.5 kg for a woman and adds 2.3 kg for every inch above 5 feet. 174 cm ≈ 68.5 inches, 8.5 of them above the 60-inch mark: 45.5 + 2.3 × 8.5 ≈ 65.1 kg. Below 5 feet (152.4 cm) this calculator sets the surcharge to zero and keeps the base weight.

Why do the ideal weight and the healthy range give different answers?

They are two different models. The range 56 kg - 75.6 kg is the band 18.5 ≤ BMI < 25 applied to 174 cm, while the ideal weight 65.1 kg is a single point from the Devine formula and corresponds to a BMI of 21.5. The formula knows nothing about age, frame size or muscle, so its point need not sit in the middle of the range.
